Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman set “two big rules” for their daughter as she enters the “public eye.”

Sunday Rose Kidman Urban, 17, caught up with NYLON in an interview published on Wednesday (August 6). The rising teen model spoke with the magazine about her inspiration to pursue a career in fashion and modeling, her star-studded debut runway show, the wardrobe pieces she wants to borrow from her mother’s closet, and more.

When asked about the rules and boundaries that Urban and Kidman set for her, Kidman Urban told NYLON “there are two big rules. The first was that I couldn’t explore any kind of fashion work until I was 16, and the second is that school always has to come first, which at first I hated, but I am actually really glad that I have these rules in place because it keeps me in a good mindset.

“When people my age meet me, they normally don’t know anything about my life, which is sort of wonderful because I am able to make a first impression based on who I am and not who my family is,” she continued, when asked whether people have “preconceptions” when they meet the daughter of two famous stars. Kidman Urban said growing up in Nashville — which “has changed so much over the years — has been “nice to grow up in more of a small town than a big city. I will have time to experience that in life, whether it’s during college or later, so I like that I’ve gotten to grow up in a city that has a bit of a slower pace. It also makes it really exciting to travel for work to places like Paris or New York.”

Kidman Urban is one of two daughters shared by the country star and the award-winning actress, who tied the knot in 2006. Kidman and Urban also share daughter Faith Margaret Kidman Urban, 14. Kidman is also a mom to Bella and Conner from her previous marriage.
